TIKRIT, Iraq - Soldiers in theater have a variety of work shifts, working at night may perhaps mean breakfast starts at 12 p.m. Yet regardless of the shift, the dining facility has something to offer everyone.
It might be a slice of chocolate cake that oozes with rich chocolate frosting or maybe a sizzling cheeseburger topped with all the fixings. Contracted third country nationals (TCN) work meticulously on preparing food so that Soldiers never go hungry.
On March 15, approximately 168 TCN's dressed in crisp white shirts and starched black pants were openly and publicly recognized with certificates of appreciation for their dedication and diligent efforts by Col. A.T Ball, Commander for the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and 25th CAB Command Sgt. Maj. Roger Kingston who both presented the awards.
"In the time I have been deployed, I haven't had any of my Soldiers come to me about how bad the food is," Ball said during the awards ceremony. "You all do a superb job in preparing our food."
Above and beyond the scope of serving appetizing food and following health guidelines, the professionalism and demeanor demonstrated by TCNs is only one of the many things Soldiers look forward to when entering Eagles Nest Dining Facility.
"In addition to always showing up to work on time and the basic job duties they perform, they are happy to be here taking care of the Soldiers," Master Sgt. Danny Vantassell, Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 25th CAB said smiling.
